CHELSEA
Goal
Petr Cech: Playing possibly his last game for Chelsea, the veteran shot-stopper made a handful of solid saves to keep Sunderland at arm's length. (7/10)
Defence
Branislav Ivanovic: Bombed up and down the right flank with plenty of energy. Almost scored with a rasping long-range drive in the first half. (7/10)
John Terry: Another fine showing from the Chelsea skipper, who led by example at the back. Kicked, blocked and tackled with his usual authority. (7/10)
Gary Cahill: Looked hungry for a goal at the other end of the pitch while working well alongside Terry inside his own penalty area. (7/10)
Cesar Azpilicueta: Failed to get forward as much as he could have. However, the full-back was dogged in his efforts to keep Sunderland out. (6/10)
Midfield
John Obi Mikel: Did a good job of anchoring the home side's midfield. Tackled hard and also got forward on a few occasions to help his team up front. (7/10)
Nemanja Matic: A dominant performance from the Serbian international. Covered every blade of grass with dynamism and was rewarded late on by setting up Remy for Chelsea's third goal. (8/10)
Juan Cuadrado: Looked very lively on the right wing during the first half, but an injury forced him off before the break. (7/10)
Willian: Offered the hosts a good outlet on the left, driving at the Sunderland defence and cutting inside to boost his side in attack. (7/10)
Eden Hazard: Capped a fine season with yet another exciting 90 minutes. Used his quick feet, clever brain and direct running to give the opposition problems all afternoon. (9/10)
Attack
Didier Drogba: Despite only playing for the opening half an hour, Drogba did himself proud on his final appearance for the club with a robust showing in attack. (7/10)
Substitutes
Diego Costa: Gave as good as he got after coming off the bench on 30 minutes, scoring from the penalty spot to get Chelsea level before wrestling with the Sunderland defence. (7/10)
Loic Remy: Looked hungry for the ball in the second half, culminating in two well-taken goals. Got into plenty of good positions to keep Sunderland on their collective toes. (7/10)
Andreas Christensen: The young defender slotted in impressively after entering the action with 12 minutes left to play. (6/10)

SUNDERLAND
Goal
Vito Mannone: Made a few good stops between the sticks, but should have done much better for Chelsea's second goal. (5/10)
Defence
Billy Jones: Fought hard for the Sunderland cause, though he was given a tough time by Willian down the left flank. (6/10)
John O'Shea: Was forced to soak up a lot of pressure with his teammates. While not always looking comfortable, O'Shea showed his experience by making a couple of good tackles. (7/10)
Sebastian Coates: Combined well with O'Shea at the heart of Sunderland's defence. That said, the Uruguayan looked tired late on. (6/10)
Patrick van Aanholt: Put in a dynamic shift at left-back. Showed determination to get forward, though that sometimes left him exposed at the back. (6/10)
Midfield
Jack Rodwell: Struggled to make an impact on his return to the starting XI. Was frequently overwhelmed by the likes of Matic and Mikel in midfield. (5/10)
Sebastian Larsson: Gave the visitors a threatening presence at set pieces, but found it difficult to influence the game elsewhere. (6/10)
Adam Johnson: Linked well with his teammates when they went on the counter-attack. Could have done more to help out at the back. (6/10)
Connor Wickham: An inconsistent performance from the winger, who only came alive in fits and starts down the right flank. (5/10)
Attack
Jermain Defoe: Showed his unselfish side by tracking back to help the Black Cats when they were under pressure. Had a couple of chances at the other end, but failed to provide a genuine threat. (6/10)
Steven Fletcher: Took his goal well to give the visitors a surprise lead in the first half. Should have drawn his side level after the break when he somehow headed over from close range. (6/10)
Substitutes
Emanuele Giaccherini: A quiet cameo from the Italian. Came on with 15 minutes left and could not help his team turn the game back in their favour. (5/10)
